RADIO 1 DJ Arielle Free has been suspended after being pulled off air and told to “have some respect” during a chaotic Ibiza broadcast.
The 36-year-old, who joined the Beeb in 2019, had hosted Dance Anthems Ibiza with Sonny Fodera on Saturday evening but has now been taken off air this week.

It comes after an incident occurred live on air with Charlie Hedges.
The former Love Island: The Morning After podcast host joined Radio 1’s Dance Anthem host Charlie on her show as a guest on July 29 in the party hot spot of Ibiza.
Arielle decided to tell Charlie what she thought of her show.
She said: “Can I be honest with you Charlie?… I expected better of you… I don’t like this song.”
“Oh really?,” Charlie replied. Arielle continued: “I hate it!”
Charlie butted in, saying in reply: “Sorry I’m taking your mic down, it’s my show Arielle, have some respect please.
“See you later. Get out of here.”
A spokesperson for Radio 1 said: “Whilst we would not comment on individual matters, we have strict codes of behaviour for staff and presenters, and any breaches are taken extremely seriously.”
Arielle was a guest on the show as part of a scheduled appearance and is expected to return to the station next week.
Those listening in at the time were shocked at what had happened.
One said on Twitter: “@ariellefree @ahj that was awful, Charlie did well to shut you down. Any other job and you would be fired!”
Another praised Charlie and said: “Show some respect Arielle Free @BBCR1 Well done @charliehedges.”
Another questioned later on the social media platform: “@ariellefree off for the week?”
